THE New York Herald suggests that
if the republican leaders really want "a
candidate with brains, why not try Mr..
Chauncey M. Depew, and proceeds to
extol the well-known qualifications of
that gentleman, which no one will
venture TO gainsay. Mr.. Depew has
himself furnished the answer and in
that shown that he is much more level
headed than those admirers who would
have liked to start boom for him. He
was a little while ago quoted as saying
that as the public feeling is at present
II railroad president would have u very
slim chance as a candidate for chief
magistrate of the nation. Very likely
Mr.. Depew would be the least objec-
tionable of any of the prominent rail
road officials of the country, but
he would be sufficiently so to en-
counter certain and overwhelming
defeat. Fortunately he has no
aspirations above his present position,
is quite satisfied to remain what he is,
finding in it abundant occupation.
ample compensation, and sufficient
honor to CRAFTY his ambition. Other
wise it might happen that certain New
York republicans, blind to the folly of
such a thing, would insist upon his GO
ing into training as u candidate. AS to
the republican leaders wanting candi-
date with brains, the Herald need give
itself no concern. The supply is abund-
ant of men who are in all respects the
equal, and in some very much the SUI
perior, of Mr.. Depew. The republican
party, unlike its opponents, is not in
bondage to any one or two men, but can
make selection of a candidate from
among a dozen any one of whom would
merit and command the confidence and
support of the party.

Ella Mitchell Bounced.

Ella Mitchell, the notorious colored
prostitute who rents rooms from Mrs.
Hicks on Eleventh street, between
Capitol avenue and Davenport street,
had some trouble with that aged female
yesterday morning. After leaving the
house for an hour or two Ella returned
to find the doors locked and her per-
sonal effects thrown into the dirt Of the
street. Among them was u new $75
dress. This aroused her ire and for
a quarter of an hour she danced around
swearing and threatening TO mako it
hot for the parties. The police were
called and despite her flaming red silk
dress and other finery she was tumbled
into the patrol wagon and hurried TO
the Central police station.

THE business men of Omaha are
waking up TO the fact that railway dis
elimination against this great trade
center must be stopped. There is no
reason why Omaha should not be on a
perfect equality with Kansas City in the
matter of freight rates to and from the
east, and there is nothing to justify the
roads that center at Omaha in contin-
uing a policy that deprives this
city of its legitimate trade from
the region naturally tributary to it, by
tariffs that almost compel country deal
ers to trade in Chicago. II our mer-

HOW 10 NOte IOT
The law by which Douglas county is
allowed to elect five county commits
sioners has been misconstrued in cer-
tain qurrters, and its bearing upon the
coming election is not generally under
stood. The law expressly provides that
the county shall be divided into five
commissioner districts, and each OF tho
five commissioners must be resident
of the district from which he is elected.
The two commissioners who hold over
are to represent the two districts in
which they respectively reside. The
three new commissioners to be
elected this fall must each be
u resident of one of the three new dis
tricts which they are to represent.
While the voters of the county have the
privilege of voting for all the commits
sioners only those candidates who re-
ceive majority over their opponent in
the district in which they reside will be
elected. This practically makes the
race between Timme and Turner in one
district, Walsh and Corrigan in another
district, and Morrell and Anderson in
the other district The voter who
scratches any one of these candidates
and votes for candidate residing in an
other district is virtually throwing away
his vote. This reduces the contest to a
simple one between opposing candidates
living in the same district, and voters
should clearly understand this.

AN EASTERN contemporary well says:
"A large registration is a healthy sign.
The more citizens there are who attend
To their political duties the better. A
large vote means the real expression Of
the will of the majority, and that is
what our elections are meant 10 get at. "
No citizen who holds his right of suf-
frage at its true value, and who has a
proper regard for his duty rs a citizen
will neglect to register. 1t costs little
time and trouble, but the purpose to be
subserved, which is that of securing tc
every man who is entitled to vote the
right to do so and excluding from the
privilege those not entitled 70 it, is
worth the expenditure. Registration
will proceed to-day, and it is to be hoped
the lists will receive: very large addi
lions. E" - e..

Hugh Thompson is a little man who

constructed. On or about January 8,

wife for marrying their servant girl
Ncllie Potensen without first being
legally divorced. The charge was
bigamy, but as the ceremony took place
in Council Bluffs tho court here dis
missed Thompson, claiming want OF

sworn out before Justice Seabrook of

CHAUNCEY M. DEPEw says that popu-

will remain until the railroad managers

THE st. Louis reporter who inter
viewed Mr.. Depew and Incorrectly
stated the views of that gentleman re-
garding the immediate future of finan-
cial and business affairs, which were
promptly heralded to the country, might
have caused much more damage than
was done if Wall street had been in a
more sensitive condition, and if Mr.. De-
pew had not at once sent out II state
ment saying that he had been misrepre-
sented. The pessimistic opinions cred
tied to the president of the New York
Central were the very opposite, in most
respects, to those he cntertains. He re-
CARDS the financial and business outlook
of the country as anything but gloomy,
and on the contrary anticipates con-
tinuance of general prosperity.
The correctly reported views of
Mr.. Depew contain nothing
of discouraging nature, although he
sees, us all intelligent observers must,
that certain boOms with no substantial
foundation will have to be paid for at
somebody's loss, and that more or less
reckless railroad building will be for
some time Improbable. The ill effects,
however, will be largely local. Mr..
Armour is another gentleman whose
Judgment on this subject is valuable who
takes hopeful view of the situation.
He says the country was never in better
condition than now, and he sees nothing
to warrant any fear of impending
trouble to business. Opinions from such

THE sugar trust is proving to be a
formidable affair. The capital invested
in it by New York and Boston refiners
amounts to $l5,000,0O0. All the re-

bination are two in Philadelphia, one
in Boston, three small ones in New Or

running, and two in San Francisco.
Sugar has advanced in price about one
cent since the combination was made,
